I am a guy who likes a good challenge. Over the years my wife and I have come up with all sorts of challenges/games to play play with just us three or with her family as well. We have had challenges about health, book reading, and getting pictures with strangers. If you have ever read the Strength Finders book one of my top strengths is achiever so challenges play to my strength.
The other day I realized that when I speak in Alabama next month I will have spoken in 20 states here in the USA. As I was thinking about it I realized that there is a year and a half till 1/1/2020. So the challenge struck me, “How many states that I have not spoken in could I speak in before 2020 gets here?” So I am going to give it a try!
Now this is just for fun and I will speak wherever the Lord leads me to speak even if it is in a state I have been in before. But this is where you can join the fun. Once of the things God told me about this year was to, “get all the help that you can.” So I am asking for your help. Maybe you are a pastor from one of the states below and you would reach out about me coming to your church. Maybe you know a pastor from one of those states and can make an introduction. Maybe you can just take a moment right now and pray that God opens the right doors for me at the right time. Whatever it is, “THANK YOU!”
So drum roll please. Here are the states that I still haven’t spoken at or schedule an event at:
